Ghost World movie review

From the beginning, I thought the ghosts were the group of people other than the two heroines. They were boring, complicated, and clichéd. They lived a well-organized life. Those annoying expressions, actions, and everything around them were out of tune with their worldview. . Rather than them, it's better to say Yini, she is the real protagonist and a supporting role - Yini is the main character and a supporting role in this society. After all, people are the sum of social relations, and the society she despises will not care about her existence at all. Instead, she will be gradually isolated to the fringes of society. They are not good at words, advocating art, and alternative forms of expression.

Even the other heroine, I can't remember her name, maybe it's because she's not a special existence, and the deviant is eventually assimilated by reality, or she has found a way to survive in society, she has not changed, but she is It has gone farther and farther, and Yini is still indulging in her own world, despising the whole world.

It was only later that I realized that the so-called "ghost" does not refer to anyone, not to the chaotic society other than her, but to someone who is out of tune with the world like her, who hides the desolation in her heart with harshness, and is unable to accept others and be accepted by others. Seemingly self-confidence is actually inferior to the end, only living in his own small world. They have unreasonable thoughts, they don't look at everything, and of course there are people or things they like in the world, but those don't belong to them. They are all destined to be alone in the end, roaming aimlessly at night on a bus that has long since stopped and never existed.
